Chapter 220: with translation of chapter title: 220

220 "Mother-in-law's sticks beat my body, scolding me as ill-omened~"

"Come on, come on, I am your big treasure Bai Yu, princesses please fasten your seatbelts, destination Shengzhen, total distance 250 kilometers, we are now preparing to depart~"

Tushan Jiu glanced at the navigation on the central control screen, then glanced at Bai Yu, and finally silently turned her head to look out the window.

Bai Yu's expression showed a hint of a crack, "If I say this car is my dad's, would you believe me?"

"Believe." Tushan Jiu didn't even turn her head, she was afraid she couldn't hold back her laughter.

Bai Yu: You believe in a ghost!

After arriving at Shengzhen, they didn't go to the Li family's house first, but had a meal, and only reached the Li family's gate at 3:30 PM.

The Hui-style designed large villa looks ancient and elegant, exquisite and imposing.

Bai Yu didn't let Tushan Jiu act; he first went to press the electronic doorbell.

After waiting a while, someone finally came to open the door.

The visitor was a handsome-looking man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Li Hanwen saw the visitor was unfamiliar and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Tushan Jiu stepped forward, "Hello, Sword Debt person Tushan Jiu, I have come to ask your grandfather Li Yunzhi for the Sword Debt."

Although Li Hanwen didn't understand what Sword Debt was, since the other party gave his grandfather's name, they must know his grandfather, and it wouldn't be right to keep the guest waiting outside.

He subconsciously glanced at the sun outside; it was still a while before sunset, so upstairs shouldn't start making noise yet.

Li Hanwen politely smiled, then made a gesture of invitation, "Please come in first, sit in the living room for a while, I'll go ask my grandfather."

Tushan Jiu nodded.

As they entered the door, Bai Yu walked while taking off his own mask and sunglasses.

Li Hanwen caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, was startled for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

You know his little sister likes him the most; if she knew her idol had come, she would definitely be overjoyed.

Just thinking about his little sister, Li Hanwen's face showed heartache.

Ever since she went to perform a play at the new theater in the center of Yishi City, she has become very strange.

Although the playbill was already set, as soon as she went on stage she would start singing alone there.

Their family specializes in Huangmei opera, but when the sister goes on stage she independently starts singing Yue opera.

But the key point is, his sister has never studied Yue opera at all!

This is somewhat bewildering.

Once could be a coincidence, but the second time it wasn't.

Moreover, his sister said that after she went on stage at that time, she had no memory at all, and by the time she regained consciousness, she was already off the stage.

For this matter, his father directly forbade his sister from performing on stage.

But even so, it still didn't help.

Because his sister still, after sunset each day, sits alone on the balcony and begins to sing Yue opera.

Every time it is the same content.

The grandfather back home heard about this and had someone send the sister back, saying they would invite a master to examine her, possibly having encountered something unclean.

But after two masters came, they both said it was a female ghost with strong resentment, because his sister's past life and that ghost shared the same suffering, so the ghost sought her out; since it couldn't be driven away, the only option was to resolve her resentment.

After performing rites to exorcise it several times, his sister showed no improvement, still each day as soon as the sun sets she begins to sing.

However, the only thing is, that female ghost has no intention to harm anyone; it's as if it borrows the sister's body to go on stage and sing, recounting its own suffering in life.

But although the female ghost doesn't harm people, after all it is still a ghost; possessing her sister's body for a long time, her sister will also be unable to endure it.

So these past few days the family has been dealing with this matter; he had just returned, and before even entering the house he heard someone pressing the main doorbell, so he turned back to open the door.

Li Hanwen collected his thoughts, because they had already arrived in the living room.

He brewed tea for Tushan Jiu and Bai Yu, then went to summon someone to go upstairs to inform his grandfather.

Not long after, the elderly Li hurriedly came down from upstairs.

Li Yunzhi's expression was somewhat excited; upon seeing Tushan Jiu he said, "Yes, yes, I'm really old and muddled, I forgot about the Sword Debt matter from back then!"

Tushan Jiu smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter that you forgot; the prophecy has already been fulfilled, I've come to collect the Sword Debt."

Li Yunzhi walked up to Tushan Jiu and hurriedly said, "The prophecy has been fulfilled, truly fulfilled; I acknowledge this debt, but can I ask you to lend me another sword for a prophecy, to tell where someone who can save my granddaughter might be, so I can go find that person?"

Tushan Jiu nodded, "Sure."

She took out a nail clipper and handed it to him; Li Yunzhi quickly took it, waiting for her to say who that person was.

But Tushan Jiu said, "The second sword, the transaction is preliminarily settled; call your granddaughter down."

Li Yunzhi was somewhat doubtful: "Call my granddaughter?"

Bai Yu saw he still hadn't reacted, not as quick as him, and reminded, "Right, call your granddaughter down; the master who can save her, well, far away in the heavens yet near at hand."

Li Yunzhi sized up Tushan Jiu from head to toe, a flicker of astonishment and surprise appearing on his face, but thinking of their Sword Debt person's miraculous ability, he would rather believe it than not.

Turning his head, he called his own grandson, "Hanwen, hurry upstairs and call your sister down."

Li Hanwen listened for a while, the more he listened the more confused he became—what Sword Debt, what prophecy, and moreover why his grandfather would be so excited, and how a girl younger than him could save his sister?

"Grandfather this......"

"Hurry up!" Li Yunzhi urged.

"Okay, I'm going now." Li Hanwen turned and walked upstairs.

Li Yunzhi poured tea for Tushan Jiu and asked, "May I ask your esteemed surname, Master? The one who lent you the sword last time, was it yours?"

"I am Tushan Jiu; the one who lent you the sword last time was my great-grandfather, who has passed away, so I have come to collect this debt."

"Your great-grandfather is truly remarkable; being able to predict something from a generation ago so accurately, but it's my fault for not taking it seriously—otherwise your great-grandfather had even given me the specific month of the prophecy, and I missed the chance; if I hadn't forgotten this, last month if I hadn't let my granddaughter go out, none of this would have happened!" Li Yunzhi said with a face full of regret.

Having seen many such people, Tushan Jiu calmly took a sip of tea, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Suddenly, the sound of singing came from upstairs.

I left home at eight to join my husband's household~

I await my husband's birth, leaving traces of time~

Night after night I sleep in tears, leftover broth filling my stomach~

Husband, ah husband~

Why haven't you come yet~

Waiting, waiting~

Five years, then another five years~

Zhao Di, Lai Di, Nian Di, Ying Di—only the husband is missing~

Mother-in-law's sticks strike me, calling me an omen~
